PARENTS THE NEW TRANS FOCUS   by Harley Dennett

A family planning clinic plans to educate parents about transgender issues following the decision by the Family Court to allow a 12-year-old to start puberty-blocking medication.

An information session to be run by Wellbeing Clinic in Miranda on Saturday will be targeted at parents because it claims they are the group that often has the most difficulty understanding the issues.

"Parents need to listen to kids. If a child is talking very strongly about growing up to being the opposite gender and having no interest in their birth gender, then we need to consider that further."

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
